High Voltage Engineering Farouk A.M. Rizk and Giao N. Trinh are authors of an English-language study book that focuses on the latest developments in high-voltage engineering. This reference work is intended for students and professionals in higher education who specialize in electrical power and voltage systems.
The book covers in depth the theoretical and practical aspects of high voltage, including the physical basis of electrical insulation systems, dielectric strength, lightning protection, and overload of high-voltage equipment. It also discusses important topics such as the breakdown of gases (such as SF6), liquids, and solid insulation materials, and the insulation techniques used in transformers, cables, and GIS installations.
In addition, the book provides insight into the latest standards of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and modern measurement and testing methods that are crucial for the design, maintenance, and protection of electrical networks. Thanks to this comprehensive and up-to-date information, this book is an essential tool for technicians and engineers working on the challenges of voltage engineering.
